The last remaining job (that I'm aware of) on Wor Lass's Picasso is to replace the front passenger door external handle. It has a chromed strip in (Exclusive trim) which is damaged and has sharp edges. I have a new handle to ready fit.

Obviously the internal door trim has to come off, but once I'm in there is anything I need to be aware of when swapping the handles?

TIA
Stuart.

Hi StuBeeDoo it is no way as easy as you may expect :roll: Quite complicated really.

There are some pictures of the C3 door handle here and the same system although with slightly different part is used on the C3 Picasso.
